Which act is the Philippine Medical Technology Act of 1969?

• A. RA 5527
• B. RA 10767
• C. RA 8504
• D. RA 6425

Answer: (A)

The question tests knowledge of which Republic Act established the regulation and licensing framework for the medical technology profession in the Philippines. The Philippine Medical Technology Act is Republic Act 5527, enacted in 1969. It creates the regulatory structure for the field, setting up the Board of Medical Technology under the Professional Regulation Commission, specifying the licensure requirements (education in an accredited program, internship, and passing a licensure examination), and defining the scope of practice and penalties for unlawful practice. This act formalizes medical technologists as licensed professionals and ensures standardized qualifications. The other acts listed pertain to different areas and do not establish or regulate medical technology, so they are not correct for identifying the Medical Technology Act.
